GOP quiet on challenger for Grayson in 2010

“Yet, 13 months before the next election, Grayson still has attracted no major Republican candidate, as such widely touted challengers as Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty and former state Sen. Daniel Webster have remained mum about their intentions. And with a growing war chest — thanks in part to his floor speeches — Grayson is in far better shape than many had expected he would be.”
